As the saying goes, there are many possible reasons for an insider to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy — they expect to make money. So let's look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
On Thursday, Twenty-First Century Fox (NASDAQ:FOX)'s Executive Chairman, Lachlan K. Murdoch, made a $6.27M purchase of FOX, buying 137,801 shares at a cost of $45.48 a piece.

Twenty-First Century Fox is trading flat on the day Monday.
And at Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:PENN), there was insider buying on Wednesday, by Chief Executive Officer Timothy J. Wilmott who bought 100,000 shares for a cost of $30.85 each, for a total investment of $3.09M. Penn National Gaming is trading up about 1.5% on the day Monday.
